The Live system can not be started. I saw KDE was trying to start, but ended with a black screen. Kinda frozen. It's a new low end pocket sized laptop. Btw I can run and install MX 21.3 KDE though.
I tried to run MX 23 ahs xfce RC2 live and install it. The xfce RC2 worked. Although it has some other issues, I will report in xfce thread. I prefer KDE system, so hopefully the problem can be fixed.
I am not sure how to debug, so there is not much I can post for now.

Is there a possibility to disable asking for the password when you just start MX Package Installer ?
Most of package managers don't ask for password when just "browsing", only when you try to install something.
I'm talking about KDE version.

The current "MX Package Installer" (MXPI) requires authentication to perform adminstrative tasks.
The reason is simple, it does quite a lot of package list updates during it's early operations and with further operations.
Splitting this out would require quite some redesign of the app itself.

Unable to install on newer HP laptop. (MX23B2 was installed - using 100% of the 500gb nvme, no LUKS or anything special.)

Downloaded KDE RC2
Created a liveUSB using Etcher, Booted, Clicked the Installer
Select Type of partition came up on USB, Clicked on Regular Install using entire dick and changed to nvme
Clicked Next, and Yes,
Process started, looked to get approx 9% in and then
Failed to Prepare required Partitions

Did an update, tried again, same results.
after attempts, old nvme main partition is still there, but boot partition is gone and so is the LiveUSB.

Edit: Created the liveUSB again, but with MX LIveUSB maker, booted this time nvme was in the selected target, chose entire disk and installed perfectly.

Going to try the entire process once more, exactly as it was the first time.

--
Edit 2: Reproducible. Created the LiveUSB using Etcher, booted, again the installer was pointed to the USB,changed it to nvme, said to use the entire disk, 9% everything failed with the message
Failed to Prepare required Partitions

This time, the usb was not affected, but the nvme boot is destroyed again. Tried it one more time, with out a reboot and again failed at 9%

Looks like LiveUSB written with Etcher and the install fails. (I pretty much exclusively use Etcher, so all Beta iso's worked, and MX17, 18, 19 and 21 all worked with it. )

LAST update on the install ... I created the MX23Rc2 iso with MX LiveUSB Maker and used the Image mode (dd) and it also failed at 9% (Also came up with default to the usb.)

SO to recap
Install after writing ISO with Full-Featured mode - writable works!
Install after writing ISO with Read-Only mode - fails!

minstall.log would be nice.
Also you may try to boot with toram, and remove/pullout the LiveUSB after boot.

Where is that minstall.log located ? I am not finding one.

only failures I am seeing in the live log are:

partprobe -s

Failed to copy the installation log to the target.

Yeah, thst the same issue, I see:

Code: Select all

2023-07-15 18:05:35.535 DBG default: SErr #46: "Error: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use.  As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use.  You should reboot now before making further changes.\n"
I guess, the installer should try to not touch the liveUSB in any way.
But it does at least here:

Code: Select all

2023-07-15 18:05:17.009 DBG default: Exec #5: grub-probe -d /dev/sda2
and

Code: Select all

2023-07-15 18:05:32.645 DBG default: Exec #19: smartctl -H /dev/sda
and later fails.
So I guess with boot parameter "toram" and pull-out the liveUSB it would not make the installation fail.

Roger that. or writing ISO with Full-Featured mode :-)

Interesting that when on non writable mode the install defaults to the same USB - showing both USB and nvme in the drop down... however when its writable only the nvme shows up. ( probably failing some place before that, but I found that interesting. )

We are in the esp thing. Might be a day or two. It’s actually trying to touch all the esps. Doesn’t format them just remarks as esp but that fails on read only devices. Ak-47 is changing that so only what’s marked to use actually gets touched.

This is not so much a KDE bug as it is an overall issue that I was unable to test in the Beta release. I am testing this on the KDE RC2 currently.

I purchased an NVME thunderbolt USB-C enclosure (capable of USB 3, thunderbolt 3 and 4 connections). My plan was to put a 512GB NVMe drive in the enclosure, format it as a live USB drive with persistence, and use it by moving things like Steam game libraries over to the Live-USB drive folder. Alternatively, I wanted to try running it as p_static_root directly off of the drive.

The first problem is that when making the live USB drive with the utility, it can't see the thunderbolt drive when plugged into the usb-c port that has thunderbolt capability. It can see the drive if I plug it into the USB-A port instead.

The second issue is that after successfully creating a live USB with persistence using the USB-A port, when I rebooted I could select the thunderbolt-connected drive from the BIOS menu, but the bootloader was unable to see the drive.

I'm unsure if this is a kernel problem/configuration issue, or if booting a USB drive in Linux via a thunderbolt connection was never possible.

Hello dear developers,
thank you for steady progress on release.
I was checking BTRFS with LUKS install. (it was on friday with RC1)

First, of course, I checked the ISO file copied into Ventoy, and a boot built in integrity check, too.
I did update before running installer.
(AFAI remeber, the first try running installer was without update, then thought about it, cancelled the process, did update and rerun the process. It was canceled after LUKS containers were created.)
And this brings me to my questions:

1. Install process last much longer, than in Beta2. Is this a feature, or a bug?
2. Where is the option to fill the containers with random data prior to LUKS format? (Security requirement to conceal usage pattern of a disk https://security.stackexchange.com/ques ... encryption). Is it done automatically without an option, hence the reason for longer install time? (should not be this case, as it seems the copying phase is slower, not formatting).
3. If the fill with random data is not done, MX installer should definitely allow user to prepare containers by himself, and do install into them without formatting them, by just picking-up their parameters such as device names/GUIDs, and passwords.
4. This seems not possible, as I tried to recycle root partition and separate home partition done by first install (I did not try to clear filesystem content though, right after cancelling of the first install try).
Installer allowed me to choose the ready LUKS containers, allow to unlock them, but did not allow to mark them for use as root or home.

Please, address these issues, to provide better encryption standards.
(I recall there was an option user can input additional encryption parameters, even random data overwrite, in the past versions of installer)
@dolphin_oracle , I remember you answered me, that you removed it, because there was not apparent use of it.
IMHO, the seeming absence of "real usage" does not mean there is no real usage. Not everyone who needs or wants better security will scream around about it, like me 9_9, and will boast what he uses. Do you remember, that a part of the security is to not letting the attacker know the internals of your system?

Thank you,
Regards,
Andy

The error code if I boot off of the thunderbolt enclosure is:

I guess the live USB creator would be a separate issue that it can't see the enclosure drive?

Yup! That did it. Maybe a "maybe needed for thunderbolt" should be added to the boot menu for from=all?

Hi,

At work I have system with nvidia card.
With nvidia driver not work virtual console (CRTL+ALT+F2) and also I not see any messages at boot or reboot/halt my system.

To fix this I added nomodeset to default grub config at boot:

1 My entries in "Favorites" in the KDE menu are forgotten after a reboot, and it comes up completely empty. No MX Tools or anything in the "Favorites". It was not like this in beta2.
This one was fixed by a reinstall.

2 In Dolphin, in the "Remote" section, it does not offer to remember my password, when I set up a Samba share with Windows. So after a reboot, I need to re-enter my password in the Samba network share that I saved. It was not like this in beta2.

A fast and light test of NX-23 RC2 (KDE and others):
The bug where text in Czech appeared on Catalan localized version of MX-23 has been squashed.
Now, all the words in text-only screens (start-up and installer) are shown correctly in Catalan.
Many thanks to devs for this and all the work in this fine version of the new MX-23.

Eduard Selma.

Hi, I hope everyone is doing well.
There seems to be naming issue with some wallpapers provided with MX-23-KDE-RC2
You can see in the screenshot provided with this message.

Hi @fehlix,
please, just one question: is mx-install designed to use also preconfigured partitions?

I mean a scenario: boot MX live, prepare my disk layout, create LUKS partitions with custom parameters (do the stuff I want - filling them with random data, edit key derivation functions, etc), then run installer, unlock LUKS containers within installer to provide passwords, and assign partitions to use as boot, root, home?
Is this scenario one of the intended uses?

Regards,
Andy

I think you can do this. you would unlock the partitions before running the installer. I think there is a right click option to add such partitions to the crypttab as well so that the system can boot them after installation.

4. This seems not possible, as I tried to recycle root partition and separate home partition done by first install (I did not try to clear filesystem content though, right after cancelling of the first install try).
Installer allowed me to choose the ready LUKS containers, allow to unlock them, but did not allow to mark them for use as root or home.

It did not work, as I wrote already,
therefore today's questions.

OK, I'll try to install once more, with BETA2 RC2 + updates.
I want to reinstall anyway, to rule-out some corruption/misconfiguration, because graphical session on my laptop freezes after resume. (albeit I did almost no customization beside installing few packages.)

Again. No success.
Flash made with MX live usb maker.
(writable, GPT, +data partition)
m-install_1.png
edit:
@dolphin_oracle
The same error like previous attempt. First attempt (Ventoy, not toram) has different error.
Just to note I have unlocked LUKS containers from installer, to let it know password, and of course checked "add to cryppttab". But you know all that from logs...
How does installer handle password, when it needs to use it for creating another keyslot for subsequent unlock of another (home) partition at boot?
Please, squash this nasty bug, which prevents usage for privacy sensitive users who want to use BTRFS, of this beautiful distro.

Andy

well certainly a problem, but make sure you create a @ subvolume and use as target for root.

Please look at the screenshot - didn't I make it right? I let installer to do BTRFS format, and create subvolumes. Choosing "create subvolume" from context menu.

looks ok but your minstall.log did not have the creation of @ subvolume I don't think.

hmmm, might be assuming that subvolumes are all on the same partition. I did this with one btrfs partition instead of two.

workaround for now would be to install with just root, and add the /home after installation. but will look into the situation.

The live USB booted even with secure boot enabled. I got a quick error message, but then it booted. And the installer ran, too. But the results were not so great; it was an incomplete install. Maybe the installer should check if secure boot is enabled?

The installer should work. You may want to disable secure boot, when booting into the installed system.
Otherwise some manualy steps to enable secure boot on the installed system may be needed.

the problem i deleted has resurfaced

i have only been using the RC2 for a few hours

first thing i always do with a new install is to edit the power settings because i hate screen dimming...... anyway - the GUI would not open after i clicked configure energy saving options

a reboot fixed it

after a while, the issue came nack and the GUI wouldn;t pen - same issue with all the other system settings options - the applet is about to open and then expires

also ... the KDE context menu is missing a few entries compared to every other KDE install I have

not the dolphin context menu but the menu that pops up when you right click on the desktop

muscle memory has me looking for the shut down button but it is not there and i can't find a way of adding it

If you mean the button on the panel, it can be added as a widget "Lock/Lockout". It is not there by default.

Please look at the screenshot - didn't I make it right? I let installer to do BTRFS format, and create subvolumes. Choosing "create subvolume" from context menu.
looks ok but your minstall.log did not have the creation of @ subvolume I don't think.

hmmm, might be assuming that subvolumes are all on the same partition. I did this with one btrfs partition instead of two.

workaround for now would be to install with just root, and add the /home after installation. but will look into the situation.
@dolphin_oracle, even configuration you suggested, does not work. After reboot it ends with busybox - looks like installer was silently ignoring caveats of this config (encryption + btrfs + subvolumes + containers prepared before), and did not try to setup it properly.

I'm starting to feel frustrated, for tons of my needlessly wasted time (not just yesterday night - I traded my sleep for trying, and now not feeling well).
Because it seems to me, all this was due to "forgetting" to let user know "what you want from the installer is not supported, do not try it, it will not work".
Installer should definitely be restricted to allow user do only the supported actions.

I know you have much work and are doing complicated things, but aren't these basic requirements of properly written software?

Sorry again for somewhat bitter tone, but we should have avoided this... :confused:

Of course it must be said: thank you for your work and for bringing to us this "nicely put together distro".
I know this is a free software and I feel grateful for your work, but please, be respectful also to your users and prevent them from wasting their time.

And I want to stress: please do not abandon possibility to use custom pre-prepared volumes in the installer. It is a very important feature to make this distro useful even for audience with more specific needs (or wants) :happy:

some times this stuff takes a minute to fix. there are a lot of timezones between dev team members working on the installer.

the case of two btrfs partitions not working is due to a faulty bit of logic, not that is isn't supposed to be supported. but the next version of the installer will support. We have been testing changes yesterday. I have successfully installed on both single btrfs partition and dual btrfs partitions. the problem has nothing to do with encryption, but with subvolume creation.

Thanks for the report.

I think you can stop trying until we update the installer.

thanks but not that

in every other iteration of plasma when you right click on the empty desktop, it brings up a context menu with heading like change background / appearance and so forth - it also usually has a shut down button at the bottom of the menu but it doesn't this time ...
not a big deal - more a curiosity

Hello @junoluna
Are you referring to the right click on empty desktop and has * < Leave...* Does changing from desktop to folder view and back again make any changes to menu - example as logging out/in or reboot does for other things ? changing from desktop to folder view and back again may help.

Not being that familiar with KDE, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or something I have done.

In RC2 installed on my hp, when I type in bash I get tabs IN the line, so it looks like this, but there are spaces no tabs?

Code: Select all

 this	is	a	long		line 	in 	bash 
The cursor literally jumps to 'a tab stop' when I press the space bar. My VM's dont do this, and I have looked but not found any setting that would do this.

What have I done ?

My case is similar, applications such as Thunar have characters getting choppy like this.

Example:

Code: Select all

D esk op  M sic  P i  res
(My environment has been updated to the latest from Beta2.)
It's happened twice so far, but a reboot fixed it.

It's a creepy bug. I didn't do anything in particular.

note: sorry, My environment is XFCE.
Maybe it's the same bug in KDE and XFCE.

I had the identical problem with MX-23 RC1.

When doing the initial reboot into the mx system, I get to the login screen and enter my password. The system thinks for a few seconds and gives me the login screen again. This goes on forever.

I looked at the system installed on the harddrive. There is nothing in the /home directory. This is what I experienced with RC1.

I was asked for my /var/log/minstall.log. I didn't know how to access it since I couldn't log in and use the system. But I found a way.

The log is here: https://pastebin.com/bHNV235E

Here is inxi:

Reboot didnt fix, and I only see this in the bash - Konsole but its like a space is a tab and the cursor is far away from the character I just typed too .. really odd

Here I have typed and stopped, and look how far the cursor is away from the last character.. really weird.
this one is too weird

Yes, now that I look, correct. In Dolphin "Open with Discover" is top listing.

I was using Thunar (which I added to RC2) which did not offer Discover.

hello CharlesV and freja
a keybind shortcut involving Shift key.
I had the choppy, strange typing once.
The cause was a keybind that Started with the Shift key. Shift+
Found The Reassignment of a keybind having Shift+ solved that problem.
In freja example it looks like Shift+ may be involved; in CharlesV case, applying same principle, it looks like Tab in a key bind ?
Very obscure, but mentioned.

Thank you for this. The questions I would have here are:

a) Since I am on a brand new install: This is currently included in the RC2 ?
__and
b) I dont see any keybindings like your talking about, how can I find one?

bind - shows nothing bound to \t or \S

Installation failed on a system where Fedora 38 is installed on btrfs partitions. I wanted to install mx-linux on sda4. 1st I tried to install on a btrf partition. This failed. Than I wanted to use ext4 but this also failed.
Here are 2 screenshots of this. Hope this helps to solve it.

I even need to do this on the RC2 iso image? I will try.
Edit: this solved it, MX Linux could be installed.

New problem occurred:
In the new installed MX Linux I can't record sound with Audacity 3.3.3 (installed via MX repos) played by Firefox. This was no issue in the past. No matter what audio input device I choose, no sound is recorded.

Trying to fix it I installed Kernel 6.3 and alsamixergui but nothing helped. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure if this goes here or under packages, but I am unable to install AVIDemux. It appears in MXPI under Popular Applications | Video. Seems like the package doesn't actually exist. I tried the default repo (following a fresh install) as well as a different one (in QSI).

Hi @dolphin_oracle,
I have booted MX23 RC2 and checked updates, and see there is new version 23.7.12.
But this version has empty description of changes in Discover. May I test it regarding LUKS+BTRFS or pre-made LUKS+BTRFS?

Thanks,
Andy
